Such gentle honest wisdom Gary. We need to hear this. I fought getting older too when I was in my late fifties and sixties. Then the lights came on when I left corp America, stopped dyeing my hair and found my lovely wife who, even though she is much younger than I, accepted me just as I was. That sure helped. But the main thing was, as you eloquently point out, was acceptance and letting go of any resistance or fear of death. Meditation as you well know enables us to realize we’re not our bodies, we’re the consciousness within. Thanks for a great piece my friend.
